Members of the Saint Paul City Council

Rel : File No. 13362, 1-34-374
r:entlemen :
Mr. Marzitelli to of his staff met with a number of peorle
last wee , rlative to the alley improvement . It was my understanding
that '7(' were to discuss whether or not this impr-)vement could be
made at less cost to the tax-payers and yet be drained and surfacPd
in a manner that would be acceptable to all and thereby improve the
present alley c• ndition.
7e were told that there was no alternate -:lan; that the plans had been
drawn in 19 ' i and therP wa'. no thought of any other plan for this
particular alley. Several of the people suEp..eqted another plan which
seemed logical , simple and certainly for less money . However, there
was no discussion br Mr. Yerzitelli or his staff on these ideas and
apparantly no thouAt of considering any other clan than the
one.
It has been my understand in of city overnment that the council
members are elected as public servants to carry out the wiii of the
people wh.) are paying the tax load for city government. In this par-
ticular case, certainly the majority of the people concerned have
no voice. -.7e are told arbitrarily that there is no other plan. It seen
to me, that the majority of the people who are payin the bill for this
improvement should have some consideration. The majority of people
had sined a petition objecting to the proposed plan for the alley
improvement . Perhaps the majority doe not rule anymore. 7e are tild
in this case that one , or a handful of people can propose and order
someteing done and declare it to be for the public good, over -ruling
the wishes of the tax-payer , regarding an alternate plan.
I request at this time , that the engineers come forth with a good ,
sound , simple and less costly clan fpr tnis alley improvement .

City Council,
St.Paul,itinnesota.
Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned, owners of
property within the confines of the district described
in "Notice of Hearing in Condemnation Proceedings"
under:
Preliminary Order 177786 approved May 9, 1956
Intermediary Order 179494 approved September 5, 1956
Final Order 179836 approved October 2, 1956
do strenuously object to the taking of easement, etc. ,
as described.
We feel that the grading and sur-
facing of the alley in question is entirely unnecessary
and rather than being of benefit to the property owners
herein represented, would definitely be a liability.
Traffic in the alley under present
conditions constitutes a real hazard for pedestrians and
for the neighborhood children and should the contemplated
"improvement" be made, these conditions would become even
worse.
We, therefore, feel that we should
not be penalized by having an assessment levied against our
property for the purpose outlined.
-2-
We further object to the manner in
which notices of proceedings in this matter were handled.
Many property owners received no .notification whatever
while others received only the final notice and to date
have not been apprised oflhe actual eventual effect of
such action.
Very truly yours,
